La Rochelle Sights

  1. Aquarium

    La Rochelle's 21st-century, state-of-the-art aquarium with good wheelchair access is a fantastic way to spend an afternoon. As well as lots of local Atlantic fish and sea creatures, you can also peer at some spectacular tropical fish and sea flora and ominous 2.7m-long bull sharks. While you're here, head up to the rooftop Café de l'Aquarium for panoramic views over the city and harbour.
